Return to Professional Practice

This return to nursing course enables nurses who have had a break from practice to enhance and refresh their existing knowledge and skills so that they can confidently return to professional practice. Please note that NUR3039 (return to practice for specialist community public health nurses) is no longer available. Our Return to Professional Practice course is approved by the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). This course is provided for all nurses who are unable to meet the criteria for revalidation, and who are therefore required to undertake a Return to Practice programme before re-registering with the NMC. Studying our return to nursing course can also help nurses to refresh their skills if they are considering moving between disciplines.

The course is open to nurses without current NMC registration. You will need to submit the following documents with your application: Personal Statement Health CPD Reference Request Form (information can be found on the additional documents page ) Proof of lapsed PIN (information can be found on the NMC website )
